Oh No! || Vinzent + Viper || Segway Car

Viper

“Oh, ya, no, I, like, get it.” Viper waves her hand in the most, like, totally obnoxious bitchy valley-girl way. “I was like- totally being a lame-ass binch.” Perhaps she’s had time to actually reflect and change being in the same car wash car as RNA and Asuka? Or perhaps she’s just trying to damage control for her own sake. It isn’t much of an apology or confession to being a sh-thead but it was something.

But hey, Vinzent agreed to go and get food with her, and so she gladly led the charge on their glorious wheeled vehicles. As they wheeled together toward the food court, she glanced over her shoulder as she asked-

“Soooo, any preferences? What kind of food do ya wanna get? I’m like, totes not picky.” She’s further enforcing her puppy girl behaviour by eating literally anything given to her, huh.

Vinzent Mayer

At… At least she was aware? But indeed it wasn’t much, but it was something.

“… Okay.”

Vinzent followed her, this time decently wheeling along. He was trying to think what he would like right now… Anything with meat or something would be good. Hmm… Yeah.

“Uhh I’m down with anything? I don’t have any dietary restrictions.” He cringed at saying this. But it was true.

“If there’s something a little spicy, I’d like that. Been a while. But I guess anything that’s at least a sandwich is fine.”

Now for the quality of food… Well, that’ll be seen if Vinzent will add up with more sauce, spices or nothing. So as long as he eats something.

Viper

“Cool! Glad we’re both on the same page!” Viper was also just as glad to eat whatever came her way. She spotted a place that seemed good. Chipotle… she didn’t eat a lot of American food outside of the basics, but she had heard good things!

Viper wasted little time in ordering herself way more food than it seemed like she would physically be able to eat, but with no idea when the next food car was coming? She had to stock up. Once she was… adequately seated with her food, she began scarfing it down at top speed.

“Oh, it always tastes better on an empty stomach…” She mumbled through a mouthful. She definitely needed to stockpile some snacks too while they were here…

Vinzent Mayer

Chipotle… Not a name he has heard of. Must be American then. The most known restaurants he definitely remembers are the ones that made it internationally. But again, it’s been extremely limited in his country, and it’s not typical of him to seek out these chains unless something piqued his curiousity.

Because he could usually find local cheap eat than the chains. And he thinks it’s much better than what the chains offer.

… Anyway, might as well check out what this restaurant offers! Burritos… Perhaps a little too much for now… Tacos, however, he’ll be down to take some! So, once he requested the tacos the way he wanted (while still feeling guilty for getting it for free.), he sat down as well. His part was reasonable, unlike Viper’s abnormal amount.

…

Wow, Viper must have been really hungry, or… Still that was. uh. Okay. Vinzent had a bite of the tacos and he found it was surprinsingly yummy! But maybe nothing to write home about. He doesn’t know why. As Viper spoke, (with her mouth full, which. Why though.), he nodded. It’s been a while since he had a proper meal. IKEA food, I miss you.

“It’s good, yeah.”

Still, he made sure to finish his plate at his own pace. There’s definitely some other food options he’d like to check while he can still use the advantage. Free food opportunity is a rarity now.

He misses homemade food, that was the best.

Viper

Apologies to Vinzent for her terrible manners, but she does enjoy a little bit of talking with her mouth full from time to time. She does, at least, swallow a big mouthful before she continues talking this time, though.

“…Soooo…decided how ya gonna handle talkin’ ta Abes after that?” Viper. VIPER. “…I ain’t really sure how ta feel ’bout Su-chan. I kinda… tried, but they’re jus’ bein’ same ol’ Su-chan…” Viper pokes at her food a little rather suddenly. Perhaps her way of addressing it was hamfisted, but there is some genuine concern behind her words, and she does actually seem invested in what Vinzent has to say on the matter.

“I dunno. Maybe I’m just a sh-tty person who’s never gonna change.”

Vinzent Mayer

Viper Apologies to Vinzent for her terrible manners, but she does enjoy a little bit of talking with her mouth full from time to time.

He’ll Live. Cringe, but he’ll Live.

Viper “…Soooo…decided how ya gonna handle talkin’ ta Abes after that?”

“…”

Sighs. She really does care, or…? Again, he hated how she guessed that.

“… Yes. I’ve already written an apology letter. And drawn him a portrait of himself. I’ll hand it to him when I’ll see him and we will see what happens. That’s all I’ll say on that matter. For the rest… That’ll be on me, I suppose. I still feel like I’ve messed up big time.”

Su-chan…

“Matsu, you mean? I haven’t talked to them enough to guess what their train of thoughts is.” Oh, so Viper is interested in Matsu. Okay. Anyway. Either it’s been a while since he learned that. Or he just found out now. Anyway, back to be casual.

“You do tend to fall back on your sh-tty habits, I find, yes. And I’m not sure why, really. I find it really hard to understand you, if I’m being honest. You do one thing now but then do a completely opposite thing the next time… I… Don’t like that, honestly.”

He sighed but held back from saying more for now.

Viper

Vinzent Mayer “… Yes. I’ve already written an apology letter. And drawn him a portrait of himself. I’ll hand it to him when I’ll see him and we will see what happens. That’s all I’ll say on that matter. For the rest… That’ll be on me, I suppose. I still feel like I’ve messed up big time.”

“…Sounds like as good’a solution as any!” Viper scarfs down another mouthful of her food, and begins making quick progress on eating it once more. It was already starting to seem like she’d actually be able to finish this disproportionate amount of food she’d ordered.

Vinzent Mayer “Matsu, you mean? I haven’t talked to them enough to guess what their train of thoughts is.”

“I mean. Like, I know’em well ’nuff that I think they definitely think I hate ’em now.” …Whose fault was that? Her own! This is the fact that makes her a lot more upset about it, and very much so. It was hard to come to terms with the fact that it was her own fault that she was in this predicament.

Vinzent Mayer “You do tend to fall back on your sh-tty habits, I find, yes. And I’m not sure why, really. I find it really hard to understand you, if I’m being honest. You do one thing now but then do a completely opposite thing the next time… I… Don’t like that, honestly.”

Viper shrugs.

“…Wish I could explain it m’self but I ain’t no behaviour analyst.” She takes another bite, “…Guess I just kinda always was this way. Jus’ guess I’ve known Kan forever so, like, she and I just kinda blend together.” That, and real life wasn’t the ‘murder train that brings out the worst in you’. “…Kinda forgot what interactin’ with people who don’t jus’ get me already is like.” That, and the various thoughts going through her head that she wouldn’t elaborate on, because she did NOT want to expose how vulnerable she truly felt sometimes, on this train.

Vinzent Mayer

Viper

Viper It was already starting to seem like she’d actually be able to finish this disproportionate amount of food she’d ordered.

Terrifying! Vinzent would’ve saved the leftovers himself if it was him, but he supposed she was very hungry as of now, so he kind of gets it.

Viper “I mean. Like, I know’em well ’nuff that I think they definitely think I hate ’em now.”

“Hm… Okay.” It wasn’t good. If she did something f-cked up enough to get Matsu to think she hates them? He wonders what happened. Don’t tell him, Viper. Really, don’t.

Viper “…Wish I could explain it m’self but I ain’t no behaviour analyst.” She takes another bite, “…Guess I just kinda always was this way. Jus’ guess I’ve known Kan forever so, like, she and I just kinda blend together.” That, and real life wasn’t the ‘murder train that brings out the worst in you’. “…Kinda forgot what interactin’ with people who don’t jus’ get me already is like.” That, and the various thoughts going through her head that she wouldn’t elaborate on, because she did NOT want to expose how vulnerable she truly felt sometimes, on this train.

“… I suppose that’s fair.”

Still… He did appreciate how Viper still cared about his relationship with Abel. Since he did tell her about that before. Sincerely? Vinzent wants it to work. With his meal done, he was content to just be laid back and chill until they part ways. Then he’ll definitely look for Abel right after.

Viper

Very hungry she was indeed. After being cooped up in jail, and after she’d started shutting herself off… Viper had scarce times to eat. The snack bar Haruka had given her could only go so far, after all.

She continues eating in awkward silence for a few moments, and it’s clearly bothering her with how her brow furrows and she stabs at her food a couple of times again. It’s like she’s trying to figure out what to say- but what can she say?

“Soooo… you managed to catch anyone yet?” Nailed it.

Vinzent Mayer

Viper

Vinzent considered saying bye to Viper and to catch her later, but he wasn’t sure how to formulate it. Especially with how awkwardly quiet the atmosphere just got.

Viper “Soooo… you managed to catch anyone yet?” Nailed it.

“No, not yet. You?”

Honestly, he’s weighing his options. Ideally, who would be best suited to handle someone weak like him? And his stubborn refusal to use gratuitous violence… How was he going to balance that out..? There’s a few he refuses to go rough on. And another few where he thinks they’ll tolerate it, but again his absolutely horrible strength clearly makes him unfit to be a mall cop anyway. And he still hates handling a segway. Not terrible at handling it as far as things go now, but still… He had to use it and he hates it. Why No Run Allowed.

Viper

Viper pauses eating for a moment to wave her hand almost dismissively, way more nonchalant than she should be about the much more prominent glow coming from the numbers that wrapped around her wrist. At least she’d been able to stop herself from cooping up any more than she had. Sulking and brooding was so unbecoming of her. But perhaps her motivations lie with the fact that if she could get into Vinzent’s good graces perhaps Abel would be nicer to her.

Unlikely.

“I meeeean, I’ve been stuck in jail for like, a couple days or whatever.” Viper shrugged. “But I ain’t worried. I can jus’ go after someone EZ- like Haruka.” …After all, Haruka had wanted to help her. Perhaps she could persuade the gentle pacifist that she should arrest her to get them both out of there.

Vinzent Mayer

It was hard to not notice the glow… On and around the wrist? VIPER WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED.

Vinzent said nothing to that matter, but his furrowed eyebrows clearly show it. It’s hard to want to like Viper especially after… All this, and the number wrapping around the wrist… Uh. Boy.

Viper “I meeeean, I’ve been stuck in jail for like, a couple days or whatever.” Viper shrugged. “But I ain’t worried. I can jus’ go after someone EZ- like Haruka.” …After all, Haruka had wanted to help her. Perhaps she could persuade the gentle pacifist that she should arrest her to get them both out of there.

Is it why her number seemed to go up that much?!

… Well yeah, Abel is one of the better options, for sure. He considered Haruka or Arty… But maybe if anything else, he can go after a few who can tolerate his eventual pathetic arrestation attempts. If some of them agree to it at least. He wants out of this game.

… In any case.

“A… A couple of days? … Okay.”

It was clear he was a little worried with how… Volatile Viper has been. Will Haruka be alright?

Viper

“Yeeeeah. Plart didn’t like when I like, totally trashed some stuff.” …Viper that is THE most non-descriptive way to describe what you did in the food court. You almost burned all of the tables! Luckily, they’ve probably been replaced by now, and the impact of her arson negated.

“He’s like, a total lame-o. And Haruka was in there tryin’ to be all super nice to me an’ shit and I was like…. go away!!!!!” It’s a little clear she’s trying very hard to dismiss her actions. But in such a way that it makes her look like even more of an asshole. It’s coordinated, calculated… Viper was determined to sow the seed of her being a terrible person to anyone who would even humour her slightly.

“But! Jack taught me some super cool skills and I broke out.” …She didn’t. “And…” Viper reaches for her pocket, and takes something out of it. And before Vinzent would even have a chance to register it, she was spinning a knife carelessly in her hand. “…I ain’t gonna be no easy target.” Oh boy.

Vinzent Mayer

Viper “Yeeeeah. Plart didn’t like when I like, totally trashed some stuff.”

“…” It had to be bad enough, right. Right? He felt something more serious happened and he was not liking this.

Viper “He’s like, a total lame-o. And Haruka was in there tryin’ to be all super nice to me an’ shit and I was like…. go away!!!!!” It’s a little clear she’s trying very hard to dismiss her actions.

“…” Slowly, he’s. Being convinced that Viper is. A lot to handle. Yes Plart definitely sucks by forcing Vinzent in a uniform he despises and, putting people not where they belong but… Viper, what the hell did you do. Somewhere in him, Vinzent is terrified that she might have hurt people he cared about. But he doesn’t voice it. He doesn’t want to know. It’s getting alot. He fidgets with his fingers in nervousness…

Ugh, Jack. Hearing his name… Vinzent made a face at the mention. What he’d do to not see him again. Well, for now, he can purposefully not talk to Jack even if he’ll occasionally spot him in the area. But Viper’s statement was… Not honest, he’s sure.

He froze at the sight of the knife once he saw it clear. Jack was one thing, with his Love of Knives and it has became less concerning because it’s something Vinzent expected. But Viper? With a New Knife? And her saying she won’t be an easy target…

“… Fine if you want a little challenge but… Don’t go swinging the knife at anyone just like that…?”

His tone has become… Much more meek.

Viper didn’t realize but, even with all the punches and physical roughness he has gotten back in highschool, a threat with a knife (mostly the exacto kind) towards him wasn’t uncommon sadly, especially when he tried to keep his lunch or personal items with him. And while he has never been cut or injured via sharp weapon, as it’s been always having his own stuff forcibly taken out of his own hands from others’, the thought alone of a sharp weapon touching him terrified him. Especially when it’s quite close to him.

He’s very correct in thinking that. Viper is most certainly a lot to handle. Her motives and her general everything seem like such a jumbled mess that she’s nigh-on unreadable for all the wrong reasons. Luckily for him, she’s not going to outwardly and openly talk about what she’d done to Abel. She didn’t want to bring that up. Not now.

“… Fine if you want a little challenge but… Don’t go swinging the knife at anyone just like that…?”

“Ain’t swingin’.” Viper grunted, before flicking the knife into the air and catching it. There was almost… a definite sense of challenge to the way she glanced over at him. “Also jus’ makin’ sure that everyone knows I ain’t gonna go down like ’Suko did.” Perhaps to some it was hard to tell how she had felt toward the Innkeeper, but she felt like her opinion of her couldn’t be clearer. Deep down, there was an admiration for the woman that had reared its ugly head.

“…But! I’m sure I won’t have to worry about you.” She pockets the knife again.

Fun! He hates the vibe! And it’s still best for both of them that she never brings that up or else…

This won’t end nicely.

“…But! I’m sure I won’t have to worry about you.” She pockets the knife again.

“…” He didn’t like that glance. But he opted to stay quiet and hear her out.

“I… Okay, I suppose that’s fair.” Self-defense, he can get that but still. Having a knife out in the open and nonchalantly… See, Vinzent understands what Viper meant, but he still wasn’t quite approving of what exactly she’s doing. She’s definitely in his “Don’t Try Anything Funny With That Person Unless You Want A Wound With 99% Guarantee” list.

At the latter half, Vinzent was… Well, yes, she’s right, he definitely won’t attempt anything fucked up. Unless it’s to save his own life. Then he’ll definitely have to defend himself, but he refuses to do any attempts that don’t require him saving his own skin, really.

“You hardly need to worry about me, I just… Don’t see the need to get violent with anyone.” Except maybe Jack. But Jack also has a knife. Usually. #WorldProblems

Viper

Vinzent Mayer Fun! He hates the vibe! And it’s still best for both of them that she never brings that up or else…

This won’t end nicely.

It’s okay, Vinzent, Viper would for sure not mention it! Even if she did… she’d probably sooner back down and escape than try and fight it. Not for cowardice, but for the fact she wouldn’t want to have another repeat of the same situation.

She could only dodge committing murder so many times before she slipped.

Vinzent Mayer “You hardly need to worry about me, I just… Don’t see the need to get violent with anyone.”

“Good!” Viper replies, far too chipper, before returning to her food as if she didn’t just brandish a knife at him. “Glad we’re in agreement.” She scoffs down another mouthful of food.

“There’s so many nice things here, isn’t there?” She’s just… changing the topic???? Maybe the arson incident was some kind of mental break.

Fair and man. Yeah. Yeah…

Viper “Good!” Viper replies, far too chipper, before returning to her food as if she didn’t just brandish a knife at him.

He didn’t like the tone of her voice. But he made sure to not show any emotion change.

Viper “Glad we’re in agreement.” She scoffs down another mouthful of food.

“Of course…”

Viper “There’s so many nice things here, isn’t there?” She’s just… changing the topic???? Maybe the arson incident was some kind of mental break.

It’s really hard to keep up with Viper’s pace right now. But… It’s still best that a change of topic had occured even if it was suddenly out of left field.

“Yeah, I’m definitely looking for some cool things I want here. And I’m glad we have proper food options to eat.”

Like the food they just ate now!

Viper

“Uh huh!” It was soooo nice to have food. Viper knew all about some of the items she had seen whilst browsing for new things to steal. So many flammable items. And so many places where she could trade back in some items for cash, too! Perhaps she could convince Plart to let her have her bag back so she could pick out some things to sell…

Some of those anime figures could do it. Each one of those had to have a resale value of at least a couple hundred! Yeah, some of the packaging was ruined, but… she could totally do it.

“…Hey, you think Plart would give me my bag back if I asked? I wanna get some money.” …To pay Jack for knife lessons, she added to herself. Jack was like, one of the few people in her good graces right now by choice, and she was still determined to actually pay him this time, as funny as it had been to trick him.

Vinzent Mayer

Vinzent hasn’t decided yet but he had a good idea of what he’d want to trade off for money should he need some more cash… But now, he will decide first what he wants. Which isn’t determined in here yet.

He definitely should do something about his busted phone. But now… He’ll keep it a little longer.

“Worth a shot, I think. Yeah, I want to get money as well, but I haven’t tried it yet. But yes, I think so as long as you convince him, you can get it back.”

Had he know what Viper actually thought, he would have given a very different, more anxious answer. Good thing Viper can keep it to herself.
